I Wish

My love has two faces
The smile was took
Laughter blinded the sadness
I wouldn't listen to his cries
Believed they were mere echoes
I wish they had deafened me
How I just keep wishing

I met his sad self
It was hurt, alien, unmasked
That burning drink woke it
My love couldn't quench it
And now I wish, I wish I wish

I wish I had never know him
I wish the echoes had faded
I wish I had heard
I wish I could cry this pain out
I wish my song was louder than his echo

I wish the day to be still
The waves to be loud
And all echoes to be quiet forever

I wish my love 
That you are free

She Sipped

He shook glass
Screamed silence
Ran the walls
She sipped

He slammed his hands
Despised his frustration
Feared his need
She sipped

He called to her
Begged of her
Held out in hope for her
She sipped

He broke apart
Came undone
Was no more
She sipped
